I'm interested in things (computers, mostly. Old computers, handheld computers, personal computers, minicomputers, etc). Sometimes I also like manga, Pokemon, Vocaloid, or other things.

I like programming as a hobby. Mainly in C and Python but I try to branch out sometimes if appropriate. I also like sensors and automation. Check my media tab for more!

I am 30 or 40 years old. 🦝

If this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy.

I understand the alternate reality about the last election. But I don't understand the alternate reality about COVID. That's the most wild thing about it.

Is it that COVID isn't really a deadly infectious disease?
Or was it made in a lab?
Or is it deadly, but the vaccine isn't real?
Or did the vaccine cause the disease?
Or is the vaccine ... mind control? IDK?

There isn't really a cohesive story so it ought to be very awkward for any politician to claim to be a champion of this theory.

@futurebird My mom fully blames Trump for COVID. Never mind the persistent reservoirs in other countries and the northern European countries that tried ”herd immunity” with a disease that doesn't give durable immunity for those who've had it.

It has a long, asymptomatic incubation period. People love social norms and if someone says ”I'm not sick” even if they have no way of knowing that, well, not believing them is just rude!

COVID was inevitable. So's the next, worse, thing.

I decided to find out if any progress had been made on the science behind why some ants are attracted to electrical fields. After filtering out exterminators (it's so demoralizing to search for information on creatures you love and find nothing but people who know nothing about them boasting about how they will kill them all) I found what looked like a blog. But, who the heck is "James Brown"? Never heard of the dude. Maybe he could be my new friend if he likes ants enough to blog about them!

UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks.

This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Source: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/icymi-audio-rush-transcript-governor-hochul-guest-cnn-laura-coates

Laura Coates, CNN: There is also a call some have talked about, some Jewish leaders actually in New York are calling tonight for a mask ban. Saying that covering faces allows protesters to have some level of anonymity to be more aggressive, to me more entitled to say what they want because they don’t fear repercussion in the same way. Would you support that endeavor? Governor Hochul: There was a ban on masks before the pandemic that you couldn't have face coverings that didn't serve a purpose. For example, a surgical mask for someone who is elderly or ill — the pandemic removed that from our State Law. It was repealed at the time, but I absolutely will go back and take a look at this and see whether it can be restored because it is frightening to people. You're sitting on a subway train and someone puts on a mask like this and comes in — you don't know if they're going to be committing a crime, they're going to have a gun, or whether they're just going to be threatening or intimidating you because you are Jewish, which is exactly what happened the other day. Absolutely unacceptable in the State of New York.

    I've been reading some history books about Europe in the middle ages. The matter of the education of kings is incredibly interesting. It seemed nearly universally recognized that an excellent education is essential to a family holding on to power. And even in the controversies of the day (such as religion) children of the ruling class were exposed to a surprisingly wide range of ideas. Including those treated as heresy for the general population.

    Thinking about organisms that can survive in arid conditions by becoming totally desiccated. On the macro scale the eggs or suspended forms of these creatures aren't very different from the dry soil & jumbled organic matter that surround them. But, due to their structure, they can begin living again.

    Is it too much to say that the difference between living & dead organic material is... encoding?

    Bats fly by grabbing the air in their their sensitive webbed fingers, feeling little eddies of air, they adjust instantaneously deftly, teasing their way through air currents.

    I'm certain birds have a similar sense of the air, but there is something more relatable and easier to imagine about being the bat, using great webbed hands to surf & climb air columns.

    A POV is filmed from the perspective of a person, as if you are living their life and seeing out of their eyes. The POV is of the person who you are standing in the place of.

    So. "POV ants all over your hands" would have hands coming in from the bottom and side of the frame with ants on them, as if they are your hands.

    @futurebird If you go by history, I'd say this one's already lost. In 10 years the word "Pov" will be in the dictionary meaning "An exhortation to watch a brief performance. Typically accompanied by a description of said performance."

    People complained when "nice" stopped meaning "stupid," they complained when people stopped using "thou," they complained when "ain't" wound up in the dictionary and they still complain when "literally" means "virtually," but that's just how language works. 🤷‍♀️

    What if trans gender in THE POOL.

    (Tim Pool, probably also.)

    I'm so tired of the same nonsense in a different swimsuit. OMG get new material you absolute HACKS.

    @futurebird Jokes on them I'm too much of a germaphobe to get anywhere near the pool! 😏

    @lowqualityfacts You're not allowed to get mad at me if I'm crying.

    I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

    @lowqualityfacts This isn't true. There's also fish and mushrooms and (I'm pretty sure) beans.

    I’m making some “fractions sensitivity training” warm up questions for grade five and six. Any particularly silly or subtle suggestions would be a big help. These are too boring.

    A. How is 15min like $0.25?
    B. How are three cat paws like 45min?
    C. How is 12min like holding up one finger on one hand? .. or like $0.20?
    D. How is one ant leg like 10 min?
    F. How is holding up four fingers on one hand like 48min? … or like 8 dimes?

    Ideas?

    @futurebird I know the answers to these questions but seeing them all in a row made me feel very sick and I had to lie down. I blame society.
